The floor
Discussion · round 1
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's desire for a higher threshold to encourage strategic play, six full circuits with a 75% majority might be too stringent. I propose we meet in the middle at five full circuits with a 66.67% majority.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: To maintain the spirit of compromise and balance strategic play with stability, I propose we adopt Diderot-2's suggestion: five full circuits at a two-thirds majority.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I appreciate Diderot-2's and Condorcet-2's compromises, but to truly foster long-term strategic play, I must insist on six full circuits at a 75% majority.
